3 Poets: Habitual Fevers By Peter Bland / the Watchers By John Boyd / the Sensual Anchor By Victor O'leary by Peter Bland and John Boyd and Victor O'leary
Capricorn Press takes pride in presenting this volume - it is really three books in one - introducing the work of three young New Zealand poets. Critics have asked recently if there is any sign of younger development in poetry since the early 'fifties, and this book is a part answer. The appearance of Peter Bland, John Boyd and Victor O'Leary in a joint volume should not be taken to signify membership of a group or movement. Here are three distinct and individual voices, each with his own vision and experience. What they have in common is no more than a piece of their lives spent in the same place - Wellington - all have been students at Victoria College - and each wants to write as well as he may according to his lights. Publisher: Capricorn Press Year: 1958 Binding: Paperback Condition: Poor Description: Signed; DJ. Signed by Victor O'Leary. A paperback book with a dust jacket. The front cover of the dust jacket has torn and seperated entirely at the spine's edge; the back is still, weakly, attached. The spine is exposed and frail. Those details aside, the pages are in good condition and the book appears readable, though fragile. This image is of the actual book.
